two lefts from nowhere

Jasper was about to give up on her quest to find one of the scant few plants she knew of, just to say she did it, when a flash of white off in the distance caught her eye. This place could only offer so much cover, so she was afforded the chance to watch for a moment without being detected. Or at least, was pretty sure she hadn't been detected. That... Was a bummer. Jasper resigned this day as yet another wash, seeing as even from far away she could tell this wolf was substantially bigger than she was and as a general rule of thumb, she didn't fuck with that. The bigger they are, the harder they hit, or however the saying goes.

Of course, that all changed when Jasper saw the wolf gather up a plant whose details she couldn't quite make out. It was one thing to give up on something you had no idea about, and another entirely to have a potential path to walk but turn off it anyways. Jasper dug their claws into the ground and groaned through frustration. She had to learn how to take care of herself properly, but the thought of walking up to the hulking white creature on the horizon and asking for help had turned Jasper's legs into jelly, her guts into water.

She crept closer, skittering from boulder to boulder, losing sight of the wolf at one point as she diverted behind a low rise to circle around closer without being seen. If she could just get close enough to catch a glimpse of whatever plant the stranger was interested in it would be a start. Even if Jasper didn't know what it did, it would be something! She crept up to the top of the rise, ears pinned down, belly fur tickled by the grass. If she'd calculated it right, the stranger should be just down the slope. She'd get one good look at whatever-the-fuck, and then she was out. There was just one problem....

Where.. exactly did they go?
